Recently the LA Angels reinstated shortstop Andrelton Simmons and Trevor Cahill to the major league roster after stints on the injured list. To make room for these roster additions utilityman Wilfredo Tovar was sent packing.
The Angels designated Tovar for assignment to open up a roster spot. Tovar was then put through waivers. No team claimed Tovar so the Angels were able to outright him today to Salt Lake City to the Triple-A Bees where he started the season.
Although Tovar’s numbers were not spectacular in Anaheim, he played multiple positions for the Angels while in the majors.
